The Book of Psalms

TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. God [is] known in Judah, || His Name [is] great in Israel.

And His dwelling place is in Salem, || And His habitation in Zion.

There He has shattered arrows of a bow, || Shield, and sword, and battle. Selah.

You [are] bright, majestic above hills of prey.

The mighty of heart have spoiled themselves, || They have slept their sleep, || And none of the men of might found their hands.

From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, || Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.

You, fearful [are] You, || And who stands before You, || Since You have been angry?

You have sounded judgment from the heavens, || Earth has feared, and has been still,

In the rising of God to judgment, || To save all the humble of earth. Selah.

For the fierceness of man praises You, || You gird on the remnant of fierceness.

Vow and complete to your God YHWH, || All you surrounding Him, || They bring presents to the Fearful One.

He gathers the spirit of leaders, || Fearful to the kings of earth!

In Judah, God is known. His name is great in Israel.

His tabernacle is also in Salem. His dwelling place in Zion.

There he broke the flaming arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah.

Glorious are you, and excellent, more than mountains of game.

Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.

You, even you, are to be feared. Who can stand in your sight when you are angry?

You pronounced judgment from heaven. The earth feared, and was silent,

when God arose to judgment, to save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.

Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

Make vows to the LORD your God, and fulfill them! Let all of his neighbors bring presents to him who is to be feared.

He will cut off the spirit of princes. He is feared by the kings of the earth.
